Boston Targeting Adrian Gonzalez
I’ll lead off with this portion of Ken Rosenthal’s article, just to temper expectations:
A deal is not close, and might not happen at all, sources said.
However, multiple sources are reporting the the Red Sox are officially gunning for San Diego’s Adrian Gonzalez, an elite first baseman who might be among the top three sluggers in the game.
The speculation is that any deal would definitely include Clay Buchholz, and probably Jacoby Ellsbury as well. One or more of the top minor league prospects in Boston’s organization would also be San Diego bound.
Adrian hit .306/.402/.643 (an OPS+ of 182) on the road last year.
At this point, it’s just smoke and no fire. If/when there’s fire, I’ll update this.
